Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy
BPH
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that commonly affects older men. As the prostate grows, it can press against the urethra, leading to difficulty with urination. Symptoms include frequent urination, weak urine stream, urgency, and waking up at night to urinate. While not life-threatening, BPH can cause significant discomfort and, if untreated, may lead to complications such as urinary retention or bladder problems. Treatment options range from lifestyle changes and medications to minimally invasive procedures or surgery, depending on severity.
